A teenager is facing charges in connection to an incident at the end of June where a taxi driver was stabbed in the stomach. 

According to Grande Prairie RCMP, around 2 a.m. on June 28th officers responded to the incident and the victim was transported to the hospital with serious injuries. 

The Grande Prairie RCMP General Investigation Section took the lead on the investigation and was assisted by Grande Prairie General Duty members and Alberta RCMP Forensic Identification Services. Following a series of search warrants, police identified a youth suspect who was arrested on July 5th. 

Police say the 17-year-old was charged with aggravated assault and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. The teen has since been released on condition.
